I love tamales and love tamale casseroles. I keep looking at this recipe in an attempt to figure out what I can do to reduce the carb content of it. The biggest culprits, of course, are the corn meal and corn but I might be able to mix up just about half of the crust and spread it *very* thinly and use about half the called for corn. What say you, elle?

Singasong--I'll bet you could leave out the bottom crust entirely and just put spoonfuls of it over the top. And if you really wanted to, making it thin on the bottom should be fine, too. The corn? Maybe use regular instead of creamed, and cut the amount to 1/2 cup, just to have a little in there. It's a very versatile recipe--you can just play around w/ the filling till it tastes good.
